A PHENOMENA
is TT A
Sudden Recovery Of Lady after Thirty
Vars, Sickness!

Years. acEness
health of Miss Sarah Margaret Fouble,
daughter of Peter A. Fouble, who re-
sides on his farm one mile west of West
Sonora, in this county, after long years
of afiiction, without the aid of human
skill, is creating more exciteing inte-
rest and comment just now, than any
event that has ever occurred in our
midst. The young lady has been an
invalid for thirty years and a great suf-
ferer from spinal disease and her recov-
cry was an unthought of matter in the
minds of her parents and physician.
No n who ever saw her in her afiict-
ed condition thought for a moment she
would aver walk, see or talk again.
Her long continued illness and COM
plete prostration, and her quick and
sudden restoration to perfect health, is
something to stagger the most skepti-
cal and that cannot be accounted for by
any Of the Doctors of medicine or Di-
vinity who visited her in her sickness,
nor those who have called to see her
since her recovery. Instead of being
a shriveled up and emaciated person,
of a sallow and death-like color, we are
informed by those who have visited
her that she is bright, healthy looking,
active and intelligent. She. walks
sprightly, sings sweetly, talks freely
and has a fresh and vigorous color, aud
shows no marks in the lineaments of
her countenance of being the great suf-
ferer she has been. For about fifteen
months she has been as helpless as an
infant, and for the past eleven months
blind and speechless, and her death
was an event expected at any mo-
ment. Such was the condition of the
lady until the 18th of this month,
when her eyesight, speech and health
suddenly came tt her the circumstances
of which she relates in her own Ian
guage and hand writing, for a copy of
which we are indebted to f. NJ. Marsh,
Esq, who in company with Rev. Jas.
Murray visited the lady on last Satur-
day at her home.
STATEMENT OF MISS FoUBLE.
have been a great sufferer of spinal dis
ease for thirty years, and eight years ago |
was taken down and my right hip was drawn
up unde my arm-it was over the third rib,
and I had no use of that leg in this time. l
had to walk with a cane, and fifteen months
ago l was taken down to my bed, and thirteen
months | was speechless and blind. / could
see a little bit out of one eye, but seven
months of this time / was entirely blind. l
could not open my eyes, and could not tell
whether they came to my bed with q light or
not. l could not talk; l had to go by the nod
of my head and of my fingers, and my suffer-
ing was almost unindurable; but the Lord
gave me grace. l did not ask Him to get we'll,
nor not to get we'll. / just left it with the
Lord. And on the night of the 18th of this
month (March) l had a vision with the Lord,
and He said he was a coming to take me Home
on the 18th of this month, between the hours
of one and two o'clock in the day time, or to
restore me to my health, to such health as /
had not enjoyed for eight years; and if He re-
stored me He would bring my lame hip straight
and if He took me away He would give me my
speech, so I could talk with my friends. And
all the doctors that came to see me could not
have convinced mt that the Lord was not
coming on that day. 1t was the longest week
of my suffering, as 1 was SO anxious for that
hour and that day to come. My suffering
was more severe as had the hemorrhage OF
the lungs, cups full of pure blood passed from
my mouth, and about noon on that day 1.-THE
18th of this mon, HI it stopped bleeding, after
wards there was a severe pain at my heart
When my friends were watching for my last
breath my Savior came, and the first words
spoke was "Blessed Jesus" and the next was
that my pains were all gone and was heal
ed. I sang Gods praise, az am a Child ofthe
King, l am a Child of the King" am sound
and have no pains at all, and feel perfectly
well. tits a true miracle performed by Christ
Himself. / had been a Christian for 20 years
and a member of the United Brethren church
at West Sonora.
